Mitie’s alignment with the UN SDGs
We are protecting the environment by eliminating fossil fuel use, improving energy efficiency and transitioning to a low-carbon economy through our Plan Zero initiative.
We aim to:
Eliminate all Scope 1 emissions (fossil fuels)
Drive down energy consumption and adopt natural renewable sources for Scope 2 emissions
Measure, report and influence Scope 3 emissions throughout our value chain
- Mitie has adopted an emissions‑intensity target calibrated to support delivery of the 2030 absolute reduction milestone while enabling consistent year‑on‑year performance assessment. Mitie’s climate targets are expressed on a gross emissions basis.
- Increase in nature‑positive habitats across Mitie hub sites, measured as a percentage improvement against the FY26 baseline.
- “In scope” reflects the availability of suitable electric vehicle technology and charging infrastructure.
- Based on Mitie plus eight months of Marlowe data from acquisition.
